It’s possible Bridgewater could go in the top five, however, he could be this year’s Aaron Rodgers – a highly touted player who sinks into the 20′s where the 49ers could reach up to get him. He has fantastic pocket presence, however his slight frame and injury history are a concern.

Another player who could go much earlier. Threw short for the overwhelming majority of his passes, yet he possesses the arm to go deep. Carr’s learning curve for a NFL offense will be huge coming out of a simplified offense. He also was overwhelmed by an imposing USC team in the Las Vegas Bowl.

It’s unlikely Garoppolo will last until 61 so the 49ers might have to trade into the bottom of the first round to get him. He's maybe the fastest rising player in this year’s draft, with his quick decision-making, accurate arm and rapid release. He spent 45 minutes throwing with Harbaugh after his pro day.

Mettenberger is an old scout’s dream: huge arm, great size (6-5, 224 pounds), and he made vast improvements last year under offensive coordinator Cam Cameron. Mettenberger averaged over 16 yards a completion. However, he’s relatively immobile and is coming off an ACL injury.

McCarron’s national championships equaled his career losses (3) with the Crimson Tide. He has made some interesting decisions in the off-season, like declining an invitation to the Senior Bowl, which took place in his hometown of Mobile. He also called the Grammy Awards “demonic” on his Twitter account. Nevertheless, he’s a smart, accurate thrower.

Another quarterback recovering from an ACL injury, Murray makes up for his lack of physical skills with his smarts and intangibles. A terrific player in the clutch, Murray will nevertheless have to improve upon his arm strength and mobility.

The fourth round could be a stretch for Fales, but if the 49ers are seeking a smart, accurate passer with a local angle, here he is. Could be the perfect backup if he develops. He transferred from Nevada after realizing that he was never going to beat out Colin Kaepernick.

Overshadowed by his SEC quarterbacking brethren, Shaw nevertheless threw 24 touchdowns and only 1 interception as a senior and posted a 26-5 record in college. He was also the fastest quarterback at the combine (4.55 in the 40-yard dash). Down side includes height (6-0), injury history and good, but not great arm strength.

Thomas was checked out by the 49ers and Harbaugh. At 6-6, 248 pounds, Thomas can run and also has a cannon of an arm. While he can sometimes look like a sure-fire first-round pick, more often he looks undraftable. But Harbaugh loves to mold raw passers.

Might be able to get him as a rookie free agent. Guiton spent his entire five-year career as a backup, but when he did play, he was spectacular. He possesses great mobility and timing and could be a late round home run.

General manager Trent Baalke loves players from his homelands of the Dakotas and Wyoming. Smith has some Johnny Manziel in him with his ability to create and run. However, he needs to work on his decision making.
